Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"okay, I get it."

In the guest room of the Grape House, Gao Cheng nodded and hung up the phone.

According to the information found by Xiao Ai, Huo Sixiao and the others should have been adopted by Huo Si's family at the same time ten years ago. The strange thing is that the president Qinglong who adopted them at that time even reported bankruptcy because of the company's financial difficulties.

In addition, there was news from Police Officer Mumu.

I heard from the staff of Huosi Company that President Qinglong usually does not get drunk, and the autopsy results also showed that Qinglong did not consume a lot of alcohol in his stomach. The police are still investigating the whereabouts of President Qinglong on the day he was killed.

"A Cheng," Dr. A Li walked to the door of the bedroom, and looked at Gao Cheng worriedly, "Do you really want to help investigate the truth? This time it seems that the matter is not so simple..."

"Of course we need to investigate," Gao Cheng put away the phone and said, "It happens that I also need to gain a foothold in Karuizawa. If I encounter difficulties and shrink back, how can I become a detective? Besides, I am also very interested in this incident. Wouldn't it be more fun to solve difficult puzzles?"

The doctor said helplessly: "If Shinichi is here, he should be the same as you."

"By the way, doctor," Gao Cheng looked outside and said, "Where are Yuantai and the others?"

"I've already gone to the living room, the black magician seems to be holding another ceremony..."

"That's good."

Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that these little guys were playing a treasure hunt in the Grape House. Although they might find some secrets, he really didn't care about the safety of the children. If something happened, it would be a big trouble. After all, the former president He doesn't believe that his death has nothing to do with the members of Huo Si's family.

It’s better for Xiao Ai to worry, staying at the villa can also help him look up information... However, Xiao Ai should stay in the newly built laboratory to do research now, this is also a bit of a headache, too isolated and will become more and more cold In the end, it is better to let Xiao Ai follow Ayumi and other lively children.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the villa's wall clock rang, and everyone gathered in the living room. Ayumi yawned sleepily, but still maintained a strong curiosity about the masked black magician Heigua Guimen.

Yuan Tai touched her belly: "Is there nothing to eat?"

"Hush, be quiet, Yuantai."

"Hmph," Heigua Guimen chuckled and looked at the little ghosts sitting beside Gao Cheng.

Finally he said, "It's already 12 o'clock, but no one has arrived..."

"We're late," Kentaro Izawa walked into the living room with Hoshiko Hoshiko with a ruddy complexion, "Mr. Black Melon, what are you going to do next?"

"It's nothing, I just want everyone to gather here to taste the tea made with various herbs and have a tea party, so that we can avoid the curse of the holy spirit that came in the ceremony just now..."

Heigua Guimen walked past the frowning Gao Cheng.

"Don't worry too much, it's just in case. You don't have to be cautious. You can go to the toilet if you want, but try not to leave for too long, otherwise the curse may deepen..."

Huo Si Xingzi looked at the people in the living room, and asked strangely, "Did Brother Jiu Yao not come?"

"Don't worry about him," Huo Sixiao looked at the maid who was pushing the dining car in, and licked his lips towards the steaming vanilla tea, "Let's start sharing the vanilla tea, even if that guy Jiuyao comes, he won't drink it."

"yes."

The maid poured the tea one after another, and first handed a cup to Gao Cheng.

"Mr. Kido..."

"thanks."

Gao Cheng took the teacup silently, but he didn't dare to drink it.

Although no one would poison him at this time, the situation of Huo Si's family could not help him being careless. If someone thought he was a threat and wanted to attack him, he would have nothing to do.

The detective system did not give him the ability not to be afraid of poison...

So sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be too famous. When investigating a case, it is too conspicuous, and you will really die. At the beginning, Jin Junzai died very aggrieved, and his body is still sinking in the dead bone swamp. .

"It's about time, isn't it? It's already very late." The tea party lasted until after two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Yuantai couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on the living room sofa. Qiao helped carry the little ghosts back to the guest room.

"They are exhausted today, doctor, take them back tomorrow morning."

"Well, Kido..." Xiaoqiao Kenjian looked puzzled as Gao Cheng hugged Ayumi away, and Mitsuhiko was also carried away by Dr. Ali, leaving only the chubby Genta who was drooling, "I still Wake him up."

"You can't even hold a child?"

"No, why did you take the lightest one?"

...

It rained in the middle of the night, and there were faint bursts of thunder, and Gao Cheng didn't sleep very well. He dreamed that he was transformed into Kindaichi to solve the case easily, and dreamed that he was arrested like Junya Toki. The murderer regarded it as a hindrance to the assassination, and the black magician Heigua Guimen walked out from behind the murderer, beheaded his head with a magic sword in his hand, and finally made a new magic lamp amidst the strange laughter of everyone in the Huosi family...

"call!"

Gao Cheng sat up sweating profusely, only to realize that it was morning, the bright morning light came in from the window, and the chirping of birds could still be heard.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dr. Ali and Ayumi who were sleeping very peacefully on the next few beds. Genta's round belly was exposed, and he was still talking about "eel rice" in his sleep.

these guys...

Gao Cheng wiped off his sweat, got up and covered the children with quilts, rubbed his eyes and started to take care of himself.

The investigation seems to have reached a dead end. Maybe we should leave Huo Si's family first and come back with another identity. After all, the target of a famous detective is too big, and it is easy to arouse vigilance. Although Huo Si's family didn't say anything, they always gave him a kind of Feeling on guard.

In addition, the situation ten years ago seems to require further in-depth investigation...

"Kirodo!" Xiaoqiao hurriedly ran outside Gaocheng's room, knocking on the doorway repeatedly, "It's bad! The cursed doll has appeared again!"

"what?"

"Miss Quan found the cursed puppet on the other side of the corridor! Anyway, hurry up and follow me to see it!"

"Which Miss Quan?"

Gao Cheng was still a little dazed, but he couldn't care too much, so he could only keep up with Xiaoqiao first.

The corridor leading to the side villa was still dimly lit, and when Gao Cheng followed the small bridge to arrive, the maid was still waiting around the corner.

"Miss Quan," Xiaoqiao gasped, "where's the doll?"

"Just ahead." The maid pointed to the end of the aisle in fear.

A palm-sized, mummy-like puppet wrapped in bandages was placed in the middle of the aisle, with wires wrapped around its neck, connected to a battery and a small light bulb, quite eye-catching under dim light.

The maid looked terrified and said: "I want to ask Master Jiu Yao to eat breakfast, but..."

"This is Jiu Yao's room..." Xiaoqiao saw the open door at the end of the corridor, and his face changed, "Where is Jiu Yao?"

"No, I don't know, the young master is not in the room..."

"Not here?"

Xiaoqiao looked at the cursed doll on the ground again, and his eyes fell on the small light bulb that was on.

"Kirodo..."

"Calm down, Xiaoqiao," Gao Cheng frowned, and quickly calmed down, "Is the puppet that was divided into two by President Qinglong also this kind of puppet?"

"Yes, it was placed on the railway model track in the president's office..." Xiaoqiao swallowed while holding the doll, paused, and looked back at Gao Cheng suddenly, "Magic lamp, Kido, is one of the ritual lights." That magic lamp in the room!"
